The Smile In Your Face Lyrics by The Grinning Man

DEA
[Spoken] Tell me what you see
GRINPAYNE
[Spoken] A baby. You. The snow. Her poor frozen face and the ice in her blood-red hair
DEA
Blood-red hair? And did Ursus see her?
GRINPAYNE
No
DEA
Don’t you see? The family Ursus lost that night… his wife was my mother. The child was me. It was me and my mother he was trying to get to
[Sung]
The story of our past is darker than we ever dreamed
And now I see the agonies you’ve suffered were for me
Yes, the smile in your face was cut to give me a home
A family, by my father
And the hole in your heart was burned to give you a home
A family, by our father
My foolish heart thought stories of darkness
Would show us both the truth
Of our forgotten selves
But it turns out I was blind to all
I’m the secret of your pain
And the source of all your buried fears is here
Right here
I’m here
GRINPAYNE
Oh, Dea, my love, it’s the fire in your heart
That shone bright in the darkest of nights
You always said pain would make us strong
You were right, Dea, you were right
And now that I can see my pain
And know the hidden face of it
I’m grasping what my mother and my father tried to say to me
As they stood with their stools beneath a man with the nooses round their necks
The thing they were fighting for was strength to look into the eyes
Of someone who is maiming you
And see that they’re the same as you
And in your burning heart
Dea, you have known that from the start
And when I look at the man who cut my face
I see myself
And when I look in the eyes of the woman I love
I see myself there too
GRINPAYNE & DEA
Your kiss of life has opened my eyes
The place where my heart breaks you have mended
Your gift of love has given me life
My sorrow and heartache now are ended
COMPANY
Then you realise that you are him and he is you
And then you see that all the people round you feel that too
ANGELICA
[Spoken] Let us intone a new royal motto. The motto of the house of Trelaw
COMPANY
[Sung]
From each according to ability
To each according to need
